The accusation is....Omar's wealth path went from $15/20k range....to $15-M in roughly six years. I spent 90 minutes yesterday looking at this story.
So...it begins/ends with Ilhan Omar's husband, Tim Mynett, who co-owns in some way....eStCru LLC (a California wine company)....which started up in 2020. No one argues about the ownership....that it was a California wine operation or that it started in 2020.
But then you come to the idea of a 'ghost-operation'....a wine company in name only (not the grapes or the complex). This is where folks argue.
Any mingled facts? Oddly, there is a registered trademark for a label...."The Devil's Lie," for the wine (whether real or faked-up).
Footnote here....any idiot can register a wine-label.
Somewhere in 2024....someone (left mostly unnamed)....came up to sue the two guys running the wine operation for fraud, claiming a sum of $300k was invested for a 18-percent ownership.....but was getting zero on return. At the time....the wine company oddly said they weren't making money...because of Covid.
But Omar's husband was putting out financial disclosures showing eStCru's value jumping from $15k in 2023 to $1M-$5M in 2024, plus another firm (Rose Lake) at $5M-$25M.
None of this made a lot of sense.
So far....no one has shown a building or sign with the sign 'The Devil's Lie'.
My best guess? It's possible that you can buy unlabeled bottles of wine (say some $5 a bottle type)....slap a funny label on it...market it as a Omar-product, and sell it for $25 a bottle where your political supporters could buy and support your personal 'label' or brand. Nothing illegal about that.
I did do a consumer search....just on that particular type wine...getting nothing, which is a bit odd.
Is this a 'Breaking-Bad' type of fake business to help hide cash flow? You'd have to create a ton of fake paperwork....to make banks/IRS happy. Course, if you were making $5-M a year....maybe it's worth the effort.
On my truth-index (1-10)? It's still at zero....not enough evidence to say anything...other than wealth exists.

Northern European Heritage folk ('Whites') exist in an imaginary high-trust civilization.
We leave our doors unlocked, our children go shopping alone.

The entire rest of the planet ('the brown') is zero trust.
Those people automatically presume everything and everybody is a scamming scammer with scamming as the first and last priority.
.
An aside:
The juice claim they are not 'White'...
